Tribal Digital Village Broadband Adoption Program
Through the “Tribal Digital Village Broadband Adoption Program,”
ZeroDivide will work with Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s
Association (SCTCA) is implementing a four-prong broadband adoption
strategy that encompasses an outreach and public awareness campaign;
basic digital literacy skills training; advanced content creation
training; and sustainability. SCTCA encompasses
the reservations of 19 federally recognized tribes, primarily located
in San Diego County, California, and reaching from southern Riverside
County southward 150 miles to the US-Mexico border.
ZeroDivide invests in community enterprises that utilize technology to
create earned-income businesses, policy change movements, and/or unique
high impact programs within nonprofit community-based organizations.
For the organizations in our portfolio, we do more than provide funding.
By leveraging community, philanthropic and corporate partnerships, we
help organizations become more self-sustaining and achieve greater
levels of impact. By supporting democratic activities and building
community assets, we encourage our grantees to increase economic
opportunity and enhance civic engagement, leading to healthier and more
vibrant communities.
